Mahrokh Kanbari

Jihad Watch : An interesting sidelight to this case is the fact that Islamic
apologists in the West routinely try to downplay and dismiss Islam’s
death penalty for apostasy by saying that in Muhammad’s time, when the
Islamic community was one unit, and was a state as well as a religion,
apostasy was tantamount to treason, but nowadays, apostates aren’t
necessarily treasonous and so the death penalty doesn’t apply.

But here
is a 65-year-old woman who poses no threat to the Iranian Islamic state
imprisoned for “acting against national security,” when her crime
consists solely of leaving Islam and converting to Christianity.

Nonetheless, it could have been worse. Marokh Kanbari has not been
sentenced to death, although the death penalty for apostasy is part of
Islamic law. It’s based on the Qur’an:

“They wish you would disbelieve
as they disbelieved so you would be alike. So do not take from among
them allies until they emigrate for the cause of Allah. But if they turn
away, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them and take not
from among them any ally or helper.” (Qur’an 4:89 ) “Iran sentences Christian convert to 1 year in prison for ‘acting against national security,'” by Samuel Smith, Christian Post, August 1, 2019:
